The Project Assistant will provide consulting services to support the delivery of GRID-Arendal’s ongoing work related to the MAMI WATA project, Enhancing Marine Management in West Africa through Training and Application. The ocean area of the Abidjan Convention encompasses 22 countries and a number of important biodiversity and fishing areas. Despite progress towards good ocean governance, its marine environment remains under threat, with limited management capacities and expertise identified as a reason. Working with the Abidjan Convention Secretariat, the project will strengthen expertise and cooperation, increasing individual and institutional capacity and knowledge transfer for improved marine management in support of NBSAPs and the CBD PoWPA, focusing on State of the Marine Environment (SoME) Assessments. Pilot projects (in Benin and Togo) will generate hands-on capacity building opportunities and inspiration for upscaling and replication.
